It'll pass. I have relatives scattered around Bogalusa and in Slidell.

Why do you have police in stores and in the parking lots? Is that normal?

Steve, who are your relatives, I'd like to call them myself and ask where are they getting their information from. Which Walmart location your talking about. I have been to the Walmart off College drive twice today. Everybody is in good spirits and very much in a giving mood. Police in stores and parking lots everywhere. News reports here in Baton Rouge keep talking about how rumors such as yours are putting undue stress on a relatively calm situation. Hell I was in line just now at Winn Dixie, sparked up a conversation with a black woman for 15 minutes, then came to find out she has been working with my sister for 20 yrs at Blue Cross. Believe it or not but we are very civil people here and yes I'm starting to take all these rumors personally.

Unfortunately, he's been making it up as he goes along the past two days. He didn't expect someone from the Louisiana area would be reading his posts.

I am glad to hear things are going okay. Just so that you know they showed on the news today two gas stations in the Baton Rouge area with huge lines running miles from the stations. Obviously, it was a huge inconvenience.....nonetheless, people couldn't have been nicer to each other.........which confirms your POV.
